[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Dear All. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I'm not sure if this complies with the rules of this forum, so feel free to inform me, the purpose of this is to make people aware of the state of the current outdoor industry. [/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,sans-serif] [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,sans-serif]Many Local Education Authority Outdoor Education Centres are under threat and many that have been in operation for over 40 years providing high quality outdoor learning. Only a few weeks ago another one closed down denying children and young people access to high quality Outdoor Education. And many more I know are under serious threat. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,sans-serif] [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,sans-serif]A number of outdoor based professional bodies have joined forces and today have launched a petition campaign to get the government to debate Outdoor Education centre closures. This petition needs at least 10,000 signatures to pursue this. More details below email link: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/26661[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,sans-serif] [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Calibri,sans-serif][FONT=Arial,sans-serif]And if it wasnt for an LEA Outdoor Education Centre I probably wouldn't be sat at my desk at LJMU today![/FONT][/FONT]
